Newburyport skis

Hey, I have an idea.

Let's give New Ventures permission to raise the height of the landfill and then make a ski slope out of it. Just think of the possibilities: not only light skiing but snow tubing and snow boarding ... why waste a perfectly good pile of rubbish?

And in the summer ... can anyone scream "water park!" Why let Amesbury Sports Park have all the local snow and water business? Their hill will be nothing compared to what we'll get, if the City Council approves the changes to the host community agreement.

What are they going to do with it, once it's capped? Will it be grassy? Will people be able to sit in its shadow and picnic? Will there be a cafe?

It only just occurred to me that kids are going to be all over it, no matter what's on it. Of course, since it probably won't be capped until 2020, it's not an urgent matter.
